Appalling
Raydon Hall
Night 1 farm dog in cage barked all night.
Nights 2 & 3 same problem with dog, then very noisy, heavy farm machinery working in the yard from 5am
Morning of departure, (10am) ignorant man on lawn mower insisting on mowing as close as posible right round the van, dispite the rest of the field being in need of mowing & unoccupied.
I accept that this is a working farm, but I do not accept rudeness and total lack of customer service.
The only reason we stayed was because we'd booked diner in a local pub on evening 3and pre booked a trip to the Ness (which is amazing) on day 4.
There are a number of other sites in the area which we will be using in future.
Lovely CL with nice views and walk into Orford
Raydon Hall
Being our first trip out in our caravan we were nervous about the single track Road entry but after calling the owner she was so lovely and put our minds at rest - she was right in that you can see a long way ahead and there were passing places making the arrival and departure issue free.
Lovely CL, didn't see the owners. Didn't find the drinking water tap to start with - it was seperate to the waste disposal tap which someone pointed out to us and that was all good.
We loved waking up and seeing the sheep in the field next to us and walking to the village, there's plenty of footpaths to investigate. Orford is just lovely and actually just down the road from where we live but it was good to spend a bit longer here and to be able to go into the warmth of the pub during the walk and actually relax rather than a swift half and dashing back home.
If its wet take some wellies as the back roads are little country lanes.
CL is just perfect.
Well located site
Raydon Hall
This is the nearest CL to the beautiful village of Orford. There is a pleasant public footpath from the site. The site is very small and is not an adult only site, therefore if children are staying there, they have little room to play without disturbing others. The views (we could see) are lovely, but as mentioned before, the trees and hedges have been allowed to grow so high, they blot out the morning and evening sun. It would make it so much more pleasant if this was attended to.
We did not see the owner of the site at all.
We did not find the bird scarer a problem, it could be heard in the distance, so may have been moved.

Lovely location
Raydon Hall
This site is in a lovely location with beautiful views and only about a mile to the water. It is on a working farm which is not a problem and I would give it full marks but for the farm dog....
This dog is in an outside kennel in the farmyard and barks on and off throughout the night, so if your after sleep make sure you take ear plugs! It’s such a shame because it could be the perfect site.

Great CL
Raydon Hall
Pros …
* Quiet.
* Large area.
* Reasonably flat.
* Good mobile signal on Three.
* Lovely walk over the fields and along by the river to Orford.
Jolly Sailor in Orford serves good meals.
Chemical disposal at waist height. Reduced likelihood of splashing!
Cons
* About a mile of single track road to get to the CL.
Tall trees on the (roughly) East and West sides of the CL. Depending on where you pitch you can either have the morning sun or the evening sun.
No tap by the chemical disposal for rinsing out toilet.
Occasionally heard a bird scarer in the distance but only during the day.
We loved this CL. We’ll be back.
